Jam chart entries
My Friend, My Friend

After a generous helping of the aggressive murk we've perhaps come to expect from recent plays, the jam cools slightly and settles into an atypically groove laden space that pulses with hypnotic energy and drive, eventually sharpening on the edge of Trey's incisive riffing and concluding with a vocal reprise in lieu of the "myfe" ending.

Pillow Jets

Part of the NYE festivities with additional vocals from the conjurors of thunder, the jam is primarily a moody, dark affair that eventually builds to a crescendo.

What's Going Through Your Mind

The centerpiece of the NYE '24 extravaganza with additional backing vocals, the jam takes a drastic turn into EDM, a genre heretofore unexplored on the Phish stage, and is interspersed with vocal quotes from several other Phish tunes (see setlist notes) before finally crashing -> into "CDT".

Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.

Setlist notes

Trey teased In Memory of Elizabeth Reed during Stash. Throughout the show, a series of white coils turned while suspened over the stage. My Friend, My Friend contained Get Ready teases from Page and Trey, Set Your Soul Free teases from Trey, and did not contain the "Myfe" ending. The band came out for the third set in three matching blue jumpsuits and a blue donut mumu. During Pillow Jets, the coils started to descend and screens lit up behind them and throughout MSG. A fractured face came down and dancers (conjurors of thunder) came out with yellow fabric. The face came together as the countdown to midnight ended, after which the dancers removed their robes and took up glowing accessories. The dancers sang during Pillow Jets and What's Going Through Your Mind, which contained Blaze On, Bouncing Around The Room, Martian Monster, Wolfman's Brother, The Lizards, and Halley's Comet quotes. Life Saving Gun briefly featured Mike on a mini-keyboard. The narration in Icculus centered on Trey explaining that the omission of the song the previous year was a test. The dancers returned during Tweezer Reprise to throw beach balls into the crowd.
